Decline in MP Quality
It seems recently that there aren't any good players online....
instead the lobby is filled with people who:
-leaves right after the game starts
-leaves in the middle of the game
-leaves when they are losing
-sends their land units into water... and then complain about their luck
-charges horsemen into spearmen.. and then cursing
-builds ONLY ulfserkers... and then get slaughtered and leave the game
-takes 30 minutes per turn
-insults other players
-spams the map with millions of labels
-sets the starting gold to 1000
-makes the team order: 1,1,2,2
-sets exp rate to 200%
-makes 6 player games on HUGE maps
-makes games in the classic era
-joins creep war games when they KNOW they didnt download roze's maps
-etc...
i'm just pointing something out...

*Points 1-3 I've always seen, and attribute to rudeness/less time than they think they have (I've had to leave games right as they start, so.)CuddleFish wrote:It seems recently that there aren't any good players online....

---what annots me more are the people who don't message that they are leaving :grr:
*Points 4-7 I attribut to new people not realizing how exactly things work until after the fact and stupid people, who are always around.
*Point 8 is rudeness
*Point 9 depends on what the labels are-I've seen really homophobic stuff, but some label use is great--I use labels to point things out, celebrate victories, mourn defeats, and label suicided units, etc
*Points 10-14 are again noobnesses
*Point 15 confuses me: can't people play on maps they haven't downloaded? I do...
As to that, If you use the main one, I've played some decent people, though when I take games seriously I don't lose

sorry, but the grammar...:sighs: I hope this doesn't seem mean, but...

it has the groups listed by race, right? If so, completely unbalanced--teh only groups played would be humans and then (maybe) elves. Think about it: dwarved lose the outlaws, which become human. Drakes lose saurians, and they lose drakes. Elves lose mermen, mages...get the picture?Anyar wrote:Whats wrong with large maps and the classic era?
big maps take a really long time...

There's a reason that the Classic era was removed from official in 1.1.

Yeah that is true. Unbalanced games ARE fun sometimes though. And about big maps taking a long time... How do they degrade the quality of multiplayer? You can see the size of the map when selecting games...Thrawn wrote:it has the groups listed by race, right?

Also, Roze should now (as of 1.1.4) be able to implement his maps such that other people don't have to download them.
Also, I usually kick or ban players who persist in rudeness, if at all practical.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a lawsuit. Oh, and by the way, sending me private messages won't work. :/ If you must contact me, there's an e-mail address listed on the website in my profile.

What i find most annoying is players who start games automatically when someone joins, without bothering to make sure they wanted to join that game, or are ready to start etc.

Re: Decline in MP Quality
I'm not sure why this one is a problem. Is there any benefit in dragging out the inevitable? The server doesn't keep stats after all...CuddleFish wrote:-leaves when they are losing

When they just leave and don't resign or say they are leaving that's annoying. I always resign if I'm in a truly lost position myself.irrevenant wrote:I'm not sure why this one is a problem. Is there any benefit in dragging out the inevitable? The server doesn't keep stats after all...

im new to westnoth and allready i have been getting anoyed with the multiplayer.
mainly with people leaving as soon as the game starts, i hardly play a game to completion now as it gets boring when you are the only human player left the rest are all AI
i for one like big maps when i have time to play them (not so good if the turns are severliy limeted)
6 players on a large map can be really fun, (2 players on a large map is just boring)
especially is there is a 7th player who is AI and has loads of starting gold,
teams of 1 1 , 2 2 are ok if the map works with that, some only work well with
1 2 1 2
6p maps are good as 1 2 1 2 1 2 or 1 2 3 1 2 3
and unfortunatly bad grammer is somthing we have to put up with, many of the players recently speak either french or spanish as a primary lanugage, so cant be expected to speak perfect english,
also many people myself included make many typing errors when typing fast , the most frequent being teh for the
